There is an immediate opportunity to reach 65 million school age children around the world who currently attend school but do not get enough to eat. Help us reach them by making a tax-deductible contribution to GCNF today.

OUR COMMITMENT

Powerful things happen when parents, educators, community organizers, local businesses, and government officials within a school system share a common vision for healthy children. Yes, a child’s prospects are changed but it is far more than that. Local farmers work with purpose knowing there’s a ready market for their goods. Jobs are created to distribute and produce food. Local economies grow stronger as children grow up to be healthy, productive citizens who can access and create opportunity. When systems work together in this manner, school nutrition programs are sustainable and scalable. Societies develop in which hunger is not a barrier to children’s learning and local economies thrive. Please join us in our mission to give every child a chance to learn and thrive.

VOICES FROM THE NETWORK

School feeding goes beyond just feeding school children but rather it is a socio-economic policy issue – which calls for all countries to develop a national policy on school feeding.

In one sentence, the overall management of XVI Global Child Nutrition Forum was excellent. The learning from the forum will help us to implement a school feeding programme more efficiently, effectively in Bangladesh
